    I don't find inclusion repulsive... I find it repulsive that many projects are now more about identity politics and virtue signaling than about, well, the project.

    I'm skeptical, because of the huge fps differences they claim. I mean OBS dropping from 30 to 7, compared to stay at 30 for GSR sounds like either the hardware or drivers are not fully supported on OBS and its dependencies, or maybe a misconfiguration. Maybe OBS + Nvidia does not support Wayland fully yet (or at the time of writing the statement from him/her) and that caused issues? At this point, who knows, without more information we can only guess.
  • Is the UI inspired by NVIDIA?

    That's the new UI (optional). The legacy one is just a gtk window full of options.

    Ah, it sounds similar to how I want to set up my headerless Raspberry Pi 5. I've been slowly learning tmux as well but it's nice to have detached sessions. I'll eventually add WeeChat as a sort of IRC bouncer for myself. Right now it's just hosting a simple file server and a copy of Wikipedia. I've also been looking at BashWrite and Bash Static Site Generator as a simple command line blog to host for myself. I quite enjoy the text only work environment. It's far less distracting
  • That's super cool.

    It's a few hundred lines of C across 7-8 files. It checks the password hash against a set of predefined ones and then calls a script if it matches. It doesn't need a lot of maintaining.

    And using the app "Identity" (also a Flatpak), comparing the quality differences is suuuuper easy! Goddamn, I love FOSS!

    Scuba diving is awesome (fucking expensive though), I think everybody should give it a try.

    I don't think it can be done by a village of 300 people These things take an order of magnitude more companies today to build. Not only could 300 people not build the board inside one of the machines used for manufacturing, but 300 companies of hundreds to thousands of employees couldn't either. Each component is usually created by one company that specializes in that specific component and only that component because of how complex these things are to manufacture individually. For that to work, you'd need villages to specialize in what they produce and export, but then this leads to a completely different kind of society than what you two are discussing here.

    While that sounds like an interesting project, I'm not trying to invest a lot of time and effort into this. The grass won't stop growing back while I figure it out.

    Ugh, no. The internet archive doesn't care about consent enough as it is. Can you imagine how much harder it would be to get stuff taken down on a distributed network when it leads to harrassment etc?
